Esta vez parece que la cosa va en serio. He consultado al Soporte de Hypertrader y esta es la respuesta que he obtenido:
Dear Mr. Lozano,
Smart Downloader is not longer available as free tool and for that reason cannot be activated
By Smart Downloader you will be able to collect directly from Yahoo
server the historical data provided into MetaStock data format.
The software is full integrated into Equis Downloader, you need only to
create MetaStock symbol list with Yahoo tickers and execute the Download
history from The Downloader, in few minutes you will be able to collect all
available historical data and day by day to update it.
The software cost Eur 25 including
1. Life Time License
2. Unlimited Email Support
3. Minor version updates.
Personalmente, me paso al MLDownloader (http://www.trading-tools.com/), que ofrece algunas características adicionales, como la de poderse programar para descargar los datos automáticamente, y cuesta 59,95€ (sin más gastos, porque los datos se descargan gratuitamente).
